The stats:Abandon is the newest book from Meg Cabot, who wrote The Princess Diaries. It hits bookstores April 26.

The gist: Pierce is 17 and she's been dead before. She drowned and flatlined for 60 minutes. And she wasn't just knocked out, either; while dead to the people around her, Pierce takes a field trip down to the Underworld, which is conveniently the domain of an uber-attractive guy named John Hayden. Before Pierce can really find out who he is and what he wants, she wakes up. Having survived her near-death experience, Pierce tries to get over the accident and move on with her life. But figuring out the new normal is next to impossible when John keeps showing up, trying to protect her from mystical dangers and maybe bring her back to the Underworld for good.

Our favorite part: Pierce is a rockstar narrator. She's bold, gutsy, and hyperaware-she might even be too brave for her own good. We love a girl who isn't scared to take action. Pierce might be a little reckless, but at least she's never a damsel in distress.

You'll love it if... you couldn't put down any of the Twilight books and are totally into The Vampire Diaries. Have a thing for the earthly girls who are always getting into trouble and the mysterious, tall/dark/handsome supernatural boys who love them? Then this book is definitely for you!
